Twitter may seem simple to use: type your thoughts, find cool things. But there are Golden Rules for all Tweeters to consider, and if you don’t want to be shunned by your fellow peeps, here are some laws to abide by:

Don’t try and hawk your free crap – nobody wants it

Give recognition where it’s due – don’t RT without giving credit

Give thanks to those that RT you

Add to the conversation, don’t dominate it

Don’t use up all 140 if you want someone to pass it along

Don’t auto DM your followers

Don’t include someone you don’t know in your conversation to make them read your tweet

Don’t feed & leave – nobody wants to talk to a bot (we’ll still love you when you return in person)
